Q: Will paint protection film affect Tesla sensors or cameras?
A: No — LLumar PPF is optically clear and does not interfere with Tesla’s sensors, cameras, or charging systems. Every install is custom-fit to preserve OEM function.
Q: How does LLumar compare to XPEL?

Why We Chose LLumar Over XPEL
At Exclusive Paint Protection, we’ve installed every major paint protection film brand on the market, including over 15 years as an authorized XPEL dealer. That experience gave us a deep understanding of the strengths and limits of each film. While we respect XPEL’s reputation, we ultimately chose to align with LLumar Platinum PPF because it consistently delivers a higher standard of clarity, reliability, and manufacturer support.
1. Backed by Eastman Chemical Company
LLumar is produced by Eastman Chemical Company, a Fortune 500 manufacturer with global scale and advanced R&D capabilities. This means every roll of film comes with the stability and consistency of one of the world’s most respected chemical companies — not just a specialty aftermarket brand. For Tesla owners, that translates into confidence that your PPF is made with world-class technology and backed by a company that has stood the test of time.
2. Optical Clarity & Finish Quality
Many films can add unwanted orange peel or distortion. LLumar Platinum PPF is engineered to deliver superior optical clarity, ensuring Tesla’s paint and body lines look their best under all lighting conditions. When paired with our precision installation process, the result is nearly invisible protection that enhances your Tesla’s design instead of masking it.
3. Advanced Self-Healing & Stain Resistance
Like XPEL, LLumar Platinum PPF offers self-healing properties, but our installers and clients consistently notice faster heat-activated recovery and stronger resistance to common Tesla hazards like bug acids, road tar, and environmental fallout. This means fewer visible blemishes over time and less maintenance required to keep your Tesla looking pristine.
4. Warranty & Accredited Installation
LLumar Platinum comes with a 10-year manufacturer-backed warranty, equal to or greater than what XPEL offers. But what sets it apart is the LLumar SelectPro accreditation program — an elite network of installers trained and audited for consistent, factory-grade results. At Exclusive Paint Protection, you’re not just getting PPF, you’re getting the assurance of both Eastman and SelectPro certification.
The Ultimate Paint Protection Package for Tesla
The ultimate paint protection package for your Tesla uses both Paint Protection Film and a Ceramic Coating. As a Tesla PPF installer near you, we apply it in areas of your Tesla that are most susceptible to rock chips and scratches (e.g., the front bumper, hood, fenders, rocker panels). A Ceramic Coating is then applied on the whole Tesla vehicle, including the areas already covered by the film. Together, the film and ceramic coating on your Tesla will preserve the paint over the long term and keep it looking good for the day-to-day.

What Type of Paint Protection Is Available for a Tesla? Are There Any Alternatives?
While paint protection is something only 3M used to offer, other noteworthy brands have entered the market, including XPEL, Kavaca, SunTek, and LLumar.
These companies offer different paint protection choices that can match individual preferences and needs. These options include transparent paint protection with a pattern or texture. But, if you’re not a fan of having an additional layer over your car, then the best alternative to PPF for your Tesla would be a ceramic coating. Ceramic coating is a nano protective layer that is applied over the car’s paint like polish or a gloss. It creates a semi-permanent protective layer that bonds with the paint at a molecular level.
But while ceramic coating can preserve the paint, it provides very little protection. Hence, bringing us to the next question, which is best for your Tesla?
Ceramic Coating vs. Paint Protection Film: Which Is Best For My Tesla?
Both PPF and ceramic coating have their pros and cons with a focus on price and levels of effectiveness. Compared to PPFs, ceramic coatings are a lot cheaper. But they are also less effective. Unlike PPF for Teslas, which add an extra sheet of protection, ceramic coating just adds a thin layer of chemicals.
So while you are saving money, you are also sacrificing protection. This can be a reasonable choice if you don’t drive your Tesla much. But, if your Tesla is a daily driver that you take around everywhere, using PPF is a wiser choice. Of course, PPF costs more.
If you’re looking at cost savings, the best way to go with the PPF and ceramic coating is to use a blend. Protect vulnerable parts, like bumpers, headlights, and side skirts with PPF, while using ceramic coating on the rest of your Tesla car.
